BEGGING TO GET AWAY.

The military train brought down a dozen
ladies and twice as many men. hundreds
appealed to the boys for permission to travel
in it, but as there was no room they had TO
be refused, but some gentlemen came 70 the
windows and asked them "for Gods sake TO
let their wives get out Of Atlanta on 1t,
they were sick already, and another night
doors and the ladies who had been crushed
in the mobs and half-starved were snugly
slowed away. Before the train
left the depot it was fairly
beseiged by men, women and children who
asked to be permitted to travel TO some sta
ton, they did not care where, so long as
they could get out of Atlanta. They said
they had had nothing to eat and could find
no place to sleep, and they could

as it was About dozen men chung to the
platform in spite of everything, and as some
spare room was found in the rear car when
the train was about seventy-five miles from
Atlanta they were permitted to enter and
remain under shelter until they reached
their destination. 1t was hard for the Off
GERS to resist the appeals that were made to
them, but the capacity of a train, like
everything else, has limit.
GLAD TO GET HOME.
The boys were pretty well worn out by
the days experience, and as the presence of
the sick ladies neceSsitated quiet, they went
to bed early and soon fell asleep. 1t was 9
o'clock before they awoke yesterday morn
ing, the early birds having forgotten their
usual rule and slept as late as any one.
When they got up they did
would throw his throttle wide open
and run into Savannah as quickly as posi-
BILE, and between times they expressed very
plainly their opinions of themselves for ever
leaving here. They were tired and ex-
hausted but when they stepped off the train
they felt so good over getting back that
when the band struck up lively march
they stepped as sprightly as if they had not
been within hundred miles of Atlanta
mud. They were marched directly to their
armory where they were dismissed by Col.
Mercer Not many of them went to work
they were not in humor for it. They spent
most of the day in giving their experiences,
and it was hard to walk any distance on the
street without meeting some one who had
been interviewing one of the boys and be-
come as thoroughly disguised with the trip
as if they had been with the regiment. 1t
will be a long, long time before the boys
will forget the Piedmont Exposition.

Happenings Among the Shipping and
Along the Wharves.
The British ship Ceylon arrived at quar-
antine last night with sickness on board
She made the passage from Rio Janeiro in
forty-three days.
The Norwegian steamship Welhaven put
into Charleston Wednesday with her ma
chinery disabled. She is from New York
and bound to Baracoa.
Messrs. Richardson & Barnard cleared
yesterday the British Steamship Astraea for
Liverpool with 5,3T bales of upland cotton,
weighing 2,602, 075 pounds, valued at $241, :
795, and 1889 sacks of cotton seed, weighing
1853, 900 pounds, valued at $4,000. Total
valuation of cargo $243, 795. The Norwegian
bark Sirrah was cleared yesterday for Rot
terdam with 3,56S barrels of rosin, weighing
1 1897 800 pounds valued at 1900. Cargo
and vessel cleared by Messrs. S. P. Shotter
& Co.
The board of survey appointed to examine
into the condition of the British steamship
Bothal in which cotton fire took place on
Friday last, has completed its investigation,
| and reported the vessel TO be in a seaworthy
| condition. A survey of the cotton which
was injured by the fire and water was also
made. 1t was decided unnecessary to re-
move the cotton from the forward compart-
ment of the vessel, but that the part of the
cargo which was injured by the fire and
flooding of the after hold shall be sold at
auction. The partially burnt cotton will be
sold tomorrow, and the wet cotton ON Tues
day.
Capt. Coach of the British steamship
General Roberts, who was arrested and
jailed at Charleston Tuesday for violation
Of shipping laws, has been compelled to
succumb to Uncle Sam. He has given bail
| for his appearance at the January term of
the United States Court of South Carolina
Capt. Coach is a hearty Welshman, and,
while possessed of the characteristic
obstinacy of that race, is withal as genial
| and pleasant as the traditional British
skipper. He thinks, however, that he has
been very harshly dealt with by the United
States government, as he was ignorant of
the shipping laws of this country, and is
naturally indignant that a man of his
| high character and manifest responsibility
should have been sent TO the stockade, and
confined there over night with negro crimi-
mails instead of being placed on his parole as
q man of honor.

AT THE THEATRE.
Thomas w. Keene Opens His Engage
pnent Before q Fine Audience.


Thomas w. Keene opened his engagement
in Savannah last night to the best house
the Theatre has held since the opening of
the season, but that was expected, for
Keene is popular tragedian here, and he
is always welcomed by appreciative au-
diences.
Keene is one of the best Hamlets on the
stage, in fact, there are but few theatre
goers who do not rank him next to Booth
in the difficult and lengthy part that the
Prince of Denmark takes throughout the
play But he studied the character deeply and
his portrayal of the many and varied pas
sions that possess the unhappy and ill-tated
Prince is a masterpiece of acting, and is
finished and smooth in every particular.
He follows perfectly Hamlet's own instruc-
tions to the player and suits "the action TO
the word, the word to the action" He has
made some changes in his dressing OF the
character, having discarded blonde hair for
auburn, and assumed dark garments
throughout instead of wearing light ones, as
he formerly did in one of the scenes. He
has mede one change that is exceedingly
agreeable, and by carefully studied ar
rangement of the scenery he has done away
with the waits between acts ii. and iii. and
iii. and w., and thus shortened the time
| required for the play, and abolished the
most tiresome feature of a theatrical per
Torrance. Mr.. Keene has also changed his
acting in number of the scenes, reading
now the soliloquy while lying upon rug,
and with an effect that is novel and pleas
ing but still impressive. Joseph Wheelock
was cast as the "Ghost," and he won the
heart of the audience by modulating. his
voice, and not reading the powerful lines
which constitutes the Ghosts" part in that
dead monotone, in which they are usually
recited as if the ''perturbed spirit" had in
his excitement forgotten how he spoke a
| few months before.
Miss Anna Boyle as "Ophelia" displayed
wonderful powers, and sustained the part
with ease and grace.
The "Polonius" of J. B. Curran was an
excellent piece of acting throughout and it
received merited applause. Eugene Moore
won the appreciation of the audience as
'L.aertes," aud the "Horatio" of Adolph
jackson was good. Miss Constance Ham
bin as the Queen" and Arthur Elliott as
the King" were both excellent in their
parts, Tonight the play will be "Riche-

MUSIC FROM THE ALPS.
Natives of the Tyrol Sing and Yodel in
Costume.

Herr Andres Alpine Choir and Tyrolese
Company gave unique and novel enter
tainment at Odd Fellows Hall last night.
1t was under the auspices of the Young
Mems Christian Association and was the
first of series which the association will
give during the winter. Herr Andres
company is one of the Redpath Lyceum
Bureaus leading attractions. 1t is COM
posed of Tyrolese who sing chiefly in their
native tongue.
One of the features of the entertainment
was the yodeling of Herr Phister and Frau
lein Heckell Yodeling as a musical term
is practically unknown in this country. 1t
is similar to the warbling now made a
special feature of most of the college glee
club tertainments The yodel is a call
used to signal between hamlets or across the
valleys on the Alps. In the Tyrol there is
great competition among the villages to
possess the best yodeller, and to be able to
say that any village possesses the best
ycdeller places it at once in an enviable
rank. The entire programme of the com
pany is made up of a class of music
that is seldom heard in this
country. The singers appear in
their native costume. The Instruments
used are the either, mandolin. guitar, AL
pine violin and gigilira. Herr Pitzinger is
be one of the leading either performers in
the country,
Fraulein Schiller, pupil of Prof. Ham
ma of Munich, is the leading vocalist in
the company. She sings i'll four languages,
and possesses voice of unusual richness
There were fourteen numbers on the pro-
gramme and every one was applauded
The German duet, by Fraulen Heckell, and
Major, the instrumental selections, and
IIaolvo1I'c
the most enthusiastically received
The mandolin, guitar and either trio was
QUE of the prettiest instrumental features
of the programme. The gigilira and guitar
duet was novelty. While most of the
music was foreign, the singers adapt them
selves to the English with a remarkably
distinct articulation and meditation. Al
together it was one of the most delightful
entertainments that the Young Mems
Christian Association has 0iven

j. Mclaughlin &c Son sold at Lamar's

cargo of the steamships Naples and Ash
dell. about 600 bales from the Naples and
231 bales from the lighter, which burned
alongside the Ashdell last Sunday. Buyers
were present from New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Charleston.
The bidding was spirited and prices
ranged from S27 to s33 per bale
for the cotton from the Naples. That from
the lighter was sold at els. The principal
buyers were Liverpool agents. The British
steamship Lancaster will carry some of the
damaged cotton on deck at the shippers risk
1t is thought by the buyers here that the
prices obtained will influence the parties

Running Next Month.
The work of building the shaft for the
elevator in Masonic Temple has been COM
menccd, and it is expected that the elevator
will be ready for use by Nov. 20. The shaft
will be in the lot next to the temple, adj
joining the western wall, and on a line

main building, Immediately in the recess of
the present staircase The elevator will be
used exclusively for the Masonic and other

originally intended that the ele-
vator should go in the building
proper, but after Investigating the matter,
it was decided best to build shaft outside.
This improvement will be hailed with salts
faction by the older members of the Ma
sonic fraternity, many OF whom are debar-

A New Departure.

Messrs Riescr e. Stern, wholesale tobac-

They have just received large consign

abandoned her at sea on the way here from
Nassau, they do not believe the tug sea-

ITS SECOND YEARS WORK.
The Chatham Real Estate and Improve
ment COMPANY.


The second annual meeting of the Chat
ham Real Estate and Improvement Com
pany was held last night at Metropolitan
Hall. w. j. Marshall, Esq, was called to
the chair and Mr.. M. j. Solomons was APP
pointed secretary. A committee was APP
pointed to examine proxies, and 1t reported
that a majority of the stock was represented.
The reports of the officers for the year
ending June 80 were read and received, and
ordered to be spread upon the minutes
President Estill in his report stated:
''There have been but few changes in its
list of stockholders, which appears to prove
that the corporation has the confidence OF
those who have invested their savings in its
stock. 1t was reasonable to expect that
with the number of loan associations in this
city, several of which were organized alter
this company began business, there would
be falling off in the demand for loans after
the first year, but that has not proved to be
the fact. The demand for money has been
such that there has not been a time since we
commenced operations when there was a
sufficient amount on hand to pay approved
applications for loans had the borrowers
promptly demanded them The company is
popular with its borrowers, because they
are equally interested with non.borrowers
in its profits All stockholders share alike
in dividends.
''Since the last annual meeting the Board
of Directors has established a rule requir-
ing the Auditing Committee, elected by the
stockholders and responsible directly to
them, but also subject to the direction of
the board to examine the books and papers
of the Secretary and Treasurer every
month, instead of annually, as provided for
by the constitution. This method was
adopted, not that there was necessity Tor
extra precaution, but because it was almost
physical impossibility for the committee,
without neglecting their regular business,
to examine into the affairs of the company
for an entire year within the time prescribed
by the constitution. The monthly reports
simplify the preparation of the committees
annual report, and at the same time relieves
the directors of the duty of examining the
books in detail.
''The statement of the Secretary and
Treasurer shows balance to profit and loss
account of $1,000 %. Out of it the board
declared dividend of 81 20 a share, aggre-
eating S7,37S so, and passed to the reserve
fund sl1,663 99.
"Nearly all the loans made have been to
build or buy houses for stockholders or to
relieve such property from indebtedness.
Since 1t began business 100 houses have been
built or bought with loans made by this
company"
Mr.. M. j. Solomons, in an appendix to his
report, gave the following statistics of the
companYs working:
Loans made first year. ..............SQ %, 400 90
Loans made second year. ............. III, 100 90
